The U.S. Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration (EDA) awarded a $3.1 million Project Grant to the Greeneville Water Commission of Greeneville, Tennessee under the Economic Adjustment Assistance (EAA) federal grant program. The funding will support infrastructure improvements to the Holley Creek Basin sewer system that will serve Parkway Products in Greene County and help offset job losses from reduced coal transportation at a nearby CSX rail yard. Specifically, the grant funds will go towards making sewer infrastructure upgrades that will provide capacity for future industry growth in Greeneville and stimulate the local economy by saving existing jobs and potentially creating new opportunities. The EAA program aims to assist regions facing adverse economic changes, and this award will help the area impacted by reductions in the coal industry through investments in its sewer system infrastructure that catalyzes further economic development.
